Raziel Pathfinder was designed to be test flown in early December 2016. It was completed in November 2016. The vehicle used an E Glass composite structure with a West Systems epoxy. The fin can was in two components, joined by a coupler. The vehicle was designed to be single-sep, dual deploy, with a large quadcopter containing lander on top.

Raziel 1

Raziel 1 was the first flight vehicle in Project Raziel. It was switched to a dual separation architecture and uses a sabot to deploy the payload. The airframe was constructed from S glass and System 3000 epoxy from Fiberglast. The vehicle flew in Maryland at LDRS 36.
